< Psalms 124 >

1 A Canticle in steps. If the Lord had not been with us, let Israel now say it:
David kah Tangtlaeng Laa Israel loh, “Mamih ham BOEIPA te om pawt koinih,” ti laeh saeh.
2 if the Lord had not been with us, when men rose up against us,
Hlang loh mamih taengah a tlai vaengah mamih ham BOEIPA om pawt koinih;
3 perhaps they would have swallowed us alive. When their fury was enraged against us,
Mamih taengah a thintoek neh a sai vaengah mamih he a hingsai n'dolh uh ni.
4 perhaps the waters would have engulfed us.
Tui loh mamih n'yo vetih soklong loh mamih hinglu he a kawt pawn ni.
5 Our soul has passed through a torrent. Perhaps, our soul had even passed through intolerable water.
Lungpok tui loh mamih kah hinglu a et ni.
6 Blessed is the Lord, who has not given us into the harm of their teeth.
Amih no dongah maeh la mamih aka tloeng pawh BOEIPA te a yoethen pai saeh.
7 Our soul has been snatched away like a sparrow from the snare of the hunters. The snare has been broken, and we have been freed.
Mamih kah hinglu tah vaa bangla pael neh a hlaeh khui lamloh loeih. Pael te rhek tih mamih n'loeih uh.
8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
Vaan neh diklai aka saii BOEIPA ming dongah mamih bomkung om.
